Harris pulls away
The big pinch? Trump does not want a new TV duel
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has rejected a second debate with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, the Democrat continues to extend her lead in the polls.
"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social on Thursday. A statement from Harris was not initially available.
Why a third? Trump had held a first election debate with incumbent President Joe Biden. His poor performance led to Biden leaving the candidacy to his Vice President Harris. Trump and Harris then met for a live televised debate on Tuesday evening (local time). In a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Thursday, a majority of respondents said Harris had won the TV duel.
Harris extends lead
After the first TV duel between the US presidential candidates, the Democrat has extended her lead over the Republican, according to the same institute. According to the survey published on Thursday, the incumbent vice president now leads the former head of state by 47 to 42 percent. At the end of August, she had a four percentage point lead.
The two-day poll also revealed that a majority - 53 percent - see Harris as the winner of the debate on Tuesday evening (local time). The figure for Trump was 24 percent. The vote on November 5 is expected to be close.
